Perdition (The Dred Chronicles #1) von Ann Aguirre *****
Klappentext (von Amazon):
WELCOME TO HELL
The prison ship Perdition, a floating city where the Conglomerate’s most dangerous criminals are confined for life, orbits endlessly around a barren asteroid.
Life inside is even more bleak. Hailed as the Dread Queen, inmate Dresdemona “Dred” Devos controls one of Perdition’s six territories, bordered on both sides by would-be kings eager to challenge her claim. Keeping them at bay requires constant vigilance, as well as a steady influx of new recruits to replace the fallen. Survival is a constant battle, and death is the only escape.
Of the newest convicts, only one is worth Dred’s attention. The mercenary Jael, with his deadly gaze and attitude, may be the most dangerous criminal onboard. His combat skill could give her the edge she needs, if he doesn't betray her first. Unfortunately, that's what he does best. Winning Jael’s allegiance will be a challenge, but failure could be worse than death…
Der 1. Teil meiner Lieblings-Sci-Fi Reihe. Ziemlich düster, auch der Humor, viel Action, klasse Charaktere und eine ganz tolle Liebesgeschichte. Die Reihe hat einfach alles, was für mich eine 5-Sterne Geschichte ausmacht.
Auf deutsch gibt es die Trilogie leider noch nicht, oder zumindest habe ich sie bei Amazon nicht gefunden.

Play of Passion (Psy-Changeling #9) von Nalini Singh *****
Klappentext (von Amazon):
As a conflict with Pure Psy looms on the horizon, two powerful wolves fight a far more intimate war of their own …
In his position as Tracker for the SnowDancer pack, it’s up to Drew Kincaid to rein in rogue changelings who’ve lost control of their animal halves—even if it means killing those who’ve gone too far. But nothing in his life has prepared him for the battle he must now wage—to win the heart of a woman who makes his body ignite…and who threatens to enslave his wolf.
Lieutenant Indigo Riviere doesn’t easily allow skin privileges, especially of the sensual kind—and the last person she expects to find herself craving is the most wickedly playful male in the den. Everything she knows tells her to pull back before the flames burn them both to ash…but she hasn’t counted on Drew’s will.
Now, two of SnowDancer’s most stubborn wolves find themselves playing a hotly sexy game even as lethal danger stalks the very place they call home…
Einer meiner Lieblingsteile der Psy-Changeling Reihe. Indigo und Drew mochte ich sofort, darüber hinaus war Drews lustiger Charakter mal eine gelungene Abwechslung zu den sonst oft düsteren Alpha-Typen der Reihe. Falls ihr die Reihe noch nicht kennt, sie fängt mit "Slave to Sensation" an.
Auf deutsch heißt das Buch "Wilde Glut" und kann hier auf Amazon gefunden werden. Teil 1 der Reihe ist "Leopardenblut".
